Healthy Habits for Success
You hear the word “healthy”, and your mind goes to keto, paleo, and vegan diets. You start to think if eating salads and drinking eight glasses of water is the sum of everything healthy. Health is about more than food. And habits are not all ‘bad’. We are made up of good and bad habits. Some we live out consciously. Other habits are so ingrained in us, they’re part of who we are. Biting your nails when you’re nervous. Brushing your teeth before washing your face. Praying before your feet hit the ground in the morning. Not all habits are created equal. Keep reading to learn the healthy habits you need for success this year.
What are habits?
Here’s the thing about healthy habits. They are learned and formed in the same way as unhealthy habits – through practice. Healthy habits are the different things you do every day, or that have a positive impact on your physical and mental wellbeing. Habits are the repetitive behaviours you do, often without thinking, that make up a part of your life. The other great thing about habits is that because they are learned, you can train yourself to develop good habits, and break bad habits.
Types of habits
Generally, we categorise habits as being good or bad. We can group habits into mental, physical, or emotional categories.
- Mental: intellectual habits have to do without cerebral capacities. This related to how we reason, logic, how observant and perceptive we are and how we make decisions (or taking time to consider all options and consequences)
- Physical: these are also known as motor habits and are associated with our bodies and muscular activities.
- Emotional: these habits have to do with our character and look at our countenance, how trusting we are, helpful, time management, and tidiness are some examples.
In different settings, these habits are more pronounced. In other situations, we have to work hard at living out the good habits, when everything in you leans toward doing the opposite. Once you recognise your strengths in each type of habit, you position yourself to strengthen them where they serve you.
Why forming healthy habits is important
At the start of each new year, we write our goals for the year ahead. Intertwined in these goals are the daily habits that will lay the foundation for change and success. Because habits are often instinctive and happen automatically, they reduce the brain power needed to make certain decisions.
When you form healthy habits, you enjoy a healthier longer life and one without the unwanted and often debilitating health issues that come with an unhealthy lifestyle.
- Good habits increase your quality of life
- Habits help us perform efficiently.
- You are rewarded with a healthy sense of pride and achievement for accomplishing something
- Creating habits help reduce stress and anxiety
- Healthy habits provide you with structure and order, helping you develop a sense of control and daily task management.
Healthy habits for success
A 2009 study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology said that it takes roughly about 18 to 254 days to form a new habit. This study went on to say that it will take an average of 66 days before the new behaviour becomes automatic.
- Master the art of self-discipline. You won’t always feel motivated or in the mood to do something. This is where self-discipline comes in handy. Train your mind to be strong to push through when the feelings are low because your mind stays on the end goal.
- Remove distractions. Make use of apps that switch off your social media between certain hours or limit how much time you spend on social media daily. Download (and then use) apps like BreakFree (Android and iOS), Moment, Social Fever, and StayFree to name a few that are aimed at monitoring your phone usage habits and turning off your notifications. You’d be surprised how that notification ping can trigger a trip down the social media rabbit hole.
- Do one hard/small thing every day. Deciding you don’t want to be late or in a rush to the office every day and be the first one in can seem challenging when you think of the morning rush and traffic. One small thing can be getting into the habit of selecting your clothes the night before. Laying them out and making sure they’re ironed, fit and you have a matching tie or shirt will save you 15 minutes in the morning. 15 extra minutes every day adds up to hours of productivity and focus.
- Take ownership of your life. It sounds harsh but the truth is, no one is coming to save you or hand you the dream bod or give you that coveted managerial position. Go out and take the bull by the horns if you will. Get out of the victim mentality of “if only…then”. Decide on the life you want, how badly you want it and take the necessary steps to get you there. Yes, the economy is unstable, and people make terrible choices that impact you, as far as it is in your control, take power of what you can.
- Learn a new skill. The biggest investment you can make is in yourself. The return on investment is priceless because no one can ever take away what you have learned and acquired when it comes to skills. You have untapped potential within you and all you need to do is invest your time in learning and upskilling yourself. Learn a new language, listen to podcasts, read, sign up for free courses on Alison…learn.
Whether you’ve mastered your healthy habits or you’re still working through breaking the bad habits, you’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. At the end of the day, we are what we repeatedly do. And if we remain driven to succeed and pursue excellence, then what we do now will take us closer to our goals.
How I Went From Recruiting to Front-End Developer in 9 Months
Learning to code so that you can land a job in tech can feel daunting. That’s why we’re sharing inspiring stories from Codecademy’s community — to show how people like you (yes, you!) can embark on a learning journey and end up with a totally new career. We hope these stories serve as a reminder that there’s no single path to a more fulfilling work life.
Today’s story is from Angelo Ćurčić, a 25-year-old Front-End Developer at MHR Software, living in Nottingham, England. Read more stories from Codecademy learners here — and be sure to share your story here.
Why I chose to learn to code
“I went to an art university and studied creative writing. After that, my original plan was to go into primary school teaching, and then carry on writing. It turned out that [teaching] didn’t really suit me well. I stacked shelves for a while in a supermarket, and then it was January of 2022 and I was doing telesales for a recruitment agency — basically making cold calls, all day every day. I just thought, I need to do a hard career change and find something else that I enjoy doing.
My initial gateway to coding was video games. I thought making video games looked like something fun to do in my spare time. Then I quickly realized, You need to be able to type some code.* How hard can it be? Not actually as hard as I thought, which was a pleasant surprise.
I had a view for a long time that programmers were like math geniuses that went to the greatest schools in the country, and could ‘see the Matrix’ and everything. And I was like, well, that’s not me. I’m just pretty average in terms of school, and math probably wasn’t my best subject. I always had a creative side, with art school and everything, and a nerdy techie side. I pursued that creative side, so I decided that I was going to go for the other one.”
* Curious how much coding goes into making a video game? Check out our course Introduction to Game Development to learn the ins and outs of creating a video game.
How I made time to learn
“I made time to code everywhere and anywhere so I could. I would get up an hour before I needed to, and I would just keep my laptop right next to my bed, so I could immediately open it up. I’d take my laptop with me to lunch so I could work for an hour on my lunch break. Then I would get home and before dinner I’d get another hour of learning in. At my best, I was doing 3-4 hours a day, and then on the weekend I squeezed out a little more. My poor girlfriend was annoyed because she didn’t see me much. For me, the thing that made it so easy to do as much as I was doing every day, and not get burnt out, is that it was genuinely fun.”

How I saved up money to switch careers
“Financially, it was kind of a no-brainer — I got Pro for a year. It really wasn’t that much of an investment, considering how serious I was about going for it. I did have a full-time job as well, so I had an income and I could afford it. That’s part of the thing that made me go, I’ll try and get 3 hours a day. Because if I’m paying for it, I’m going to make the most of it.”
How long it took me to land a job
“I remember thinking that I could stay at the cold-calling job for about a year or so before I had to do something else, whether that was a job coding or just another role. I pushed myself and I ended up just applying to jobs that I didn’t think I would be able to get, as early as possible. As soon as I had anything to add to my CV that could say I can code to a certain degree — like I’ve made a webpage or a portfolio that I can show off — I applied. I thought I’d just apply and if they say, no, that’s fine.”
How I got in the door
“I was on Indeed or a different job board, just Googling jobs. A couple other jobs I applied to either I had not heard anything from or were in-process. I found this job online, applied, and luckily the company also had an open house. The office is really close, so I went in to say, Hi, this is me! I thought I could make myself a bit more memorable for the process.
Going to the office actually did make me a bit more nervous, because a lot of the people there were impressive — someone there who had a doctorate in programming or something like that. But I explained my situation to them, and what I was trying to do, and they seemed really interested in taking on somebody who could develop and grow.”
How I nailed the interview
“It wasn’t a hardcore technical interview; they sent me some tasks to do. It was basically written out like a user story, which I had never come across before. One of the tests was to write a response about any problems I would have, like, if I was actually coding this, what sort of things would need clarifying? Then I had to actually code up what they’d been asked for. It was a really simple login screen for a web page. You just need to have boxes to put that first name, mobile number, and an email address.
I proved that I could set up the basics, then they sent me a challenge where I had to recreate that same webpage again in C#, which I’d never used before. That was pretty daunting, and they gave me about a week to do it. I think the point was to see how quickly I could teach myself and learn. That was probably my most hardcore weekend of Codecademy. At some point, something clicked and I was like, Ah, I get it! I don’t have to know how the whole thing works, I just need to know how that works.”
How I evaluated the offer
“I thought I’d scream and run around the office, but when the job offer came through, I was very quiet. It sank in a couple of days later when I was driving home in the car, like, Oh my god.
I had to take the job, because there wasn’t a significant salary difference, and I had a better opportunity to grow in this company. On top of that, it was just something I worked so hard for. I’d been coding every day for 6 months, so I knew for a fact that this was something I enjoy doing.”
How day one and beyond went
“It went really well. They’re really nice, and a cool, casual team. They’ve given me a lot of space to grow and learn. The company has been around for about 40 years, they’ve got a huge codebase. I’ve been buddied up, so I do a lot of pair programming and just like watching over people. It’s exactly what I was looking for, and it’s 10 minutes down the road, which is perfect.”
What I wish I knew before I started learning
“It would have been nicer if I’d started earlier, because I spent so long thinking it was out of reach. It really isn’t. At any point I could have started. I just think that it’s very doable, so you should just go for it, and start applying for jobs even before you think you’re ready.
What have you got to lose? You can try it out, because there’s a lot on Codecademy that you can do for free. Have a go, and if it’s fun, you can get Pro — it really is made to take you all the way through.”

IFC Report: 1 in 3 Nigerian women report positive career outcomes from online learning
By Kais Zribi, General Manager, Middle East and Africa at Coursera
Confidence, a Nigerian data analyst and biologist, discovered the power of online learning during the pandemic. With a degree in Biological Sciences, she sought to enhance her skills through online courses, including a Google Data Analytics professional certificate. This investment in her education paid off as she recently found a job in her field of passion, genomic data science, after two years of job hunting.
Confidence’s story highlights the huge opportunity remote learning has in creating more equal opportunity for women and other underserved populations. According to a report from International Finance Corporation (IFC), increasing women’s access to online learning has the potential to improve their economic prospects and open up new career paths. The study found that one in three Nigerian women surveyed reported positive career or business outcomes after taking online courses, including finding a new job, setting up a business, or improving job performance.
The research is part of the “Women and Online Learning in Emerging Markets” report from IFC, created in partnership with the global online learning platform, Coursera, and the European Commission. The report also found that in Nigeria one job is created for every 30 people trained on Coursera.
The study uses data from Coursera to quantify women’s participation in online education, identify challenges to greater participation, and provide recommendations for the public and private sector to improve life-long learning opportunities and outcomes for women.
“This report, conducted through IFC’s Digital2Equal initiative, highlights the importance of technology and online learning in boosting access to new skills and creating opportunities for women and entrepreneurs more broadly. IFC is committed to empowering more women in business by leveraging the digital economy,” said Kalim M. Shah, IFC’s Senior Country Manager for Nigeria, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
Among other key findings in Nigeria:
- Women’s enrollment in online education has accelerated but a gender gap still persists.
- In Nigeria, men make up the majority of online learners. However, over the past five years the proportion of female learners has grown from 26% in 2017 to 32% in 2022.
- Women were twice as likely as men to cite family and childcare obligations as the reason behind their motivation to learn online. 27% of women were motivated by the pandemic and 20% of women were motivated by personal preferences.
- Credential acceptance holds the key to attracting more online learners, with more than 50% surveyed citing it as a key reason to enroll. Nigerian learners also rate the credibility of online learning highest when compared with learners from other countries in the study.
- Online learning can lead to career outcomes and economic gains in Nigeria.
- 38% of online learners in Nigeria reported a positive job or business outcome as a result of online learning.
- 27% of women built skills to prepare for a new job application.
- 14% of women employees received a new job or a promotion.
- 23% of women improved their performance in their existing job or businesses.
- Women entrepreneurs in Nigeria had particularly stand-out results:
- 70% of women who joined online learning with the goal to set up and manage their own business reported achieving their goal.
- In Nigeria, one job is created for every 30 people trained on Coursera. Improved skills and qualifications create new jobs directly through the creation of new businesses. Jobs are also created indirectly through increased consumption and economic activity driven by higher incomes.
- 38% of online learners in Nigeria reported a positive job or business outcome as a result of online learning.
- Online learning has the potential to further reach underserved populations in Nigeria.
- The largest category of learners in Nigeria (36%) report a monthly household income below the 50th percentile at 55,000 Nigerian naira.
- Over a quarter of women reported a need to overcome connectivity challenges, yet the interest in online learning is still strong: 65% of women and 76% of men report that they will continue learning online exclusively in the future.
This research highlights the potential for online learning to bridge the gender gap in Nigeria by providing women with access to in-demand skills and new career opportunities. It also shows that online education can not only benefit individual women, but also drive economic growth through job creation. Governments, businesses and institutions must work closely to address some of the key challenges facing women in Nigeria. Public-private partnerships will be critical to unlock women’s full potential and create more opportunities.
The “Women and Online Learning in Emerging Markets” study draws on data from nearly 97 million Coursera learners in over 190 countries, surveys of nearly 10,000 learners across Egypt, India, Mexico, and Nigeria who completed at least one lesson on the platform, and interviews with over 70 global learners and industry experts.

How To Change Careers Without Changing Companies
Your dream job could be well within reach — possibly just a few desks over from you at the company where you already work. While there’s comfort in making a big career change within an organization you’re familiar with, it can be a tricky transition to navigate.
Applying for a new job within the same organization where you’re employed is fairly common: Hiring managers typically get around 10 internal applicants for an open position, in addition to all of the external people who apply, according to research from Harvard Business Review. You might have the benefit of institutional knowledge and a deep understanding of the company and its mission, but jobs are competitive, and internal candidates are not a definite shoo-in.
Making sure that you have the skills necessary to step into a new job is the most important factor when you’re switching to a new role or team within an organization. For example, you can’t expect to jump from, say, a non-technical accounting position to a Back-End Engineer without being able to code at a high level and understanding what a Back-End Engineer does. But don’t feel intimidated: It’s totally possible to switch careers and fields entirely, and there are Codecademy learners like you who’ve done it.
Lock in your price by February 15
If you’re trying to set yourself up for an internal move, or just wondering what opportunities are out there, there’s a Codecademy plan that fits your goals. With Codecademy Plus, you can start learning the skills needed to move up to a more technical role right away. If you’re interested in making a total change into a brand new field and function, there are lots of exciting Codecademy Pro features coming soon that will help you take the next step, like coding exams that you can use to test your skills, and Codecademy’s professional certifications that prove your expertise in a specific area. Ready to upgrade to Pro? Be sure to sign up by February 15 in order to lock in your price before it increases.
Here are some more strategies and tips from a top tech recruiter that will help you change careers while staying at the company where you work.
Do some internal networking
A major benefit of applying to a new position internally is that you already have your foot in the door. You have access to the company’s org chart, so you can easily get in touch with people on a specific team or with a particular role. You may even have personal experience working with folks on cross-functional projects or socializing with other teams at company events.
Start setting up meetings to get to know the people and team leaders in the department you’d like to move to, says Erica Rivera, a career coach and technical recruiter at Google who recruits software engineers, application engineers, program managers, and technical program managers. “If you are in, say, program management, for example, and you want to go into software engineering, well you should figure out what the software engineers do,” she says.
These can be informal coffee chats where you pick someone’s brain about how they landed their role and what they like (or dislike) about the job. You can also share details about your own background, the type of work you’ve done in the past, and what’s drawing you to a new field. You could even ask them to keep you posted on any job vacancies on their team, or other opportunities that are on their radar. You’ll be surprised how just making a personal connection and talking to people can help give you a boost during your job search.
Talk to your team leader
It might seem a little bit shady trying to pivot to another role while maintaining your current position and workload — but seeking out new opportunities is a natural part of your professional work experience, and is nothing to feel guilty about.
If you have a good relationship with your team leader, it’s worth it to have a transparent conversation about your goals, even if it involves moving to another department. “Maybe your manager can help you get to where you’re trying to go,” Erica says. For example, they could help facilitate introductions to key people within the organization who you should meet, or they could volunteer you for projects that are in line with the work you’d like to be doing.
When Megan O’Neill, a UX Writer at Codecademy, decided she wanted to switch careers from marketing to UX, she had a conversation with her manager early on in the process. “Before I spoke with my manager, I was nervous at first that it might seem like I wanted to quit,” Megan says. “If you have similar concerns, remember that part of a manager’s job is helping you find opportunities for professional growth. Many managers are excited to be able to play a role in helping you achieve your professional goals — even if it means that you may end up leaving their team in the future.”
These conversations can be awkward, but most team leaders will be supportive of your career progression, and they’ll appreciate your honesty as you go through the next steps. If you have hesitations about telling your team leader about your potential move, you could start the application process on your own and wait until you’re at the final stages to inform your team leader, Erica adds.
Take advantage of built-in career advancement programs
Lots of companies have formalized programs where employees are encouraged to work on a different team or in a new field for a period of time. At Google, it’s called a “bungee” program, Erica says. “You’re not married to that role, you’re not making a formal change, but it gives you the opportunity to explore and try,” she says.
Spotify has “embed opportunities,” where engineers can support a short-term project on another team. This is how Back-End Engineer Mindy Seto got to work as a Data Engineer on Spotify Wrapped, for example. Adidas offers a similar job-fluidity program that enabled Serena Isone to get hands-on training and mentorship so she could switch roles from Product Owner to Front-End Engineer.
If the company you work for offers a formal system that supports learning initiatives, it’s a seamless way to start building relationships with other teams and plant the seed for a different full-time opportunity.
Not to mention, these kinds of initiatives benefit companies too, because they keep employees engaged, boost retention rates, and help fill open positions with internal talent. That was the case at RizePoint, a quality management software company that created an internal career advancement track with Codecademy for Business. “Having Codecademy and our training program excites people and actually shows them that there is a path for me in this organization, there is a place for me to grow and I’m not going to just be stagnant in a topped-out, specific role for who knows how long,” Darrel Williams, RizePoint’s CTO of R&D, says.
Identify your skill gaps (then fill them)
As you gather intel from other folks, don’t forget to ask them about the non-negotiable technical chops that you need in a particular role. “Unless you know hands down, for sure that you have what this new role is going to be looking for, you may have to do some prep work on the front end before you apply,” Erica says. For example, if you want to break into UX Design, you might need to master technical tools like Figma, and start building a portfolio.
You may have your work cut out for you, but once you understand where your knowledge gaps are, then you get to the fun part: learning. There are so many Codecademy resources, courses, and career paths available to help you launch a different (and rewarding) tech career. And we’re launching exclusive Codecademy Pro features that will help you build job-ready skills, like assessments that test your proficiency and Codecademy’s professional certifications that show you’ve got what it takes to be considered for a new role.
The timing is right for you to take the next step: If you sign up for Codecademy Pro by February 15, you can lock in the current price before it increases — and get a jumpstart on your professional goals.
Cool Job: I’m the NFL’s Football Operations Data Scientist
Monday morning watercooler chats after a big football Sunday look a little different for Tom Bliss, the National Football League’s Football Operations Data Science Manager. “The fun thing about our group is that we have both a robust data background as well as a football background,” Tom, who has worked at the NFL since 2020, says.
As a lifelong football fan and skilled data professional, Tom is trained to pick up on details that the average spectator might not clock — like exactly how long a commercial break lasted, or which new rule change went into effect. Tom’s job at the NFL is to use Python and R to analyze data and address problems related to competitiveness, pace of play, and officiating in football games. “The ultimate goal is to make the game as competitive, fast, and well-officiated as possible,” Tom says.
This is just one example of the unique and rewarding careers you can have as a Data Scientist. Here’s how Tom combined his passions and got hired in a technical role at the NFL, plus his tangible advice for people who aspire to work in sports analytics, too.
What got me interested in the job
“I have always been a math person my entire life, but I’ve also always been a huge football fan. I grew up in Oakland, California, and my family had season tickets to the Oakland Raiders [now the Las Vegas Raiders].
I went to the University of Wisconsin for undergrad, where I studied physics and astronomy with minors in computer science and math. For my computer science minor, I was mostly coding in Java, because it was geared more towards back-end development as opposed to data science.
Then I went to Columbia University where I got my master’s in data science. That’s kind of when I pivoted more towards coding as opposed to physics, astronomy, and hard science. Part of the reason I did that was because I thought there was an outside chance I could potentially get a job in sports, and hopefully football, because football is my favorite sport.”
How I got in the door
“I applied for an internship at the NFL — I just found it through Google. When I applied for the NFL internship, I had two projects that I did through classes that I had taken in school. For my final projects in those classes, I based one project on basketball, and another on the NFL. So I was able to show up to the interview saying, Look at what I’ve already done. I was able to show both my ability to do data science and my ability to know sports well enough to ask interesting data questions. I was lucky enough to get the internship, and then I was able to come back full-time.”
Lock in your price by February 15
What I actually do every day
“On an average day, I’ll probably spend the majority of the day coding. Our group uses a mix of R and Python. I do pretty much all data cleaning and data visualization within R. But if I’m going to start modeling, I’ll save the data out of R, open up my Python notebook, and start coding it there. So it just depends on what I’m doing: If I’m going to be doing some robust modeling, I switch to Python.
Some of the problems I might be solving would be, like, analyzing the NFL schedule. Where are there scheduled inequities, and how might they affect the game? Like, one team might have one extra day of rest than another team, so what does that mean in terms of maybe one team being at a disadvantage? What does that mean in terms of scoring? What does that mean in terms of the competitiveness of the game?
Another thing I might look at is the pace of play. I might analyze timestamp data to look at different events that occur in a game, and how much time we’re spending. During actual play, how much time were the players in the huddle? Another project I did was analyzing how surfaces affect player speed and acceleration. In terms of turf surfaces, there’s a bunch of different types of turf, like grass surface or artificial grass surface. So we were sort of comparing the three types of surfaces and seeing what happens in terms of player speeds.”
Here’s what you need to get started
Just like a football player needs to learn the plays before getting on the field, you need to learn how to code in order to work in sports analytics. Like Tom, most Data Scientists are well-versed in Python and R.
If you’re brand new to coding and are choosing a data science programming language to learn first, Python tends to be a great option because it’s intuitive and easy to read. The path Analyze Data with Python will introduce you to the versatile language and its data-specific libraries. You can also check out Analyze Data with R, where you’ll learn the basics of the language and make your own compelling data visualizations from datasets.
Once you have the technical skills down, start completing projects that are related to the field where you want to work. “The first thing I would suggest is to show your interest in this stuff by creating projects that are related to sports,” Tom says. “Create content that you would find interesting, and ask questions that you yourself are curious to answer with data.”
If you’re inspired to work with sports data, try the course Analyze NFL Stats with Python. We’ll give you the relevant data and teach you to build a machine learning model that can predict the winners of NFL games. Not a football fan? Browse all of the Codecademy data science projects.
It’s important to post your work somewhere so that people can see what you’re doing, Tom says. Within sports analytics, people often use Twitter to share their data plots and work, or talk shop with other Data Scientists. “There are people that I’ve met and interacted with just through Twitter,” he says. (BTW, here are some more tips for using social media to network professionally.) Another way to get exposure is through the official NFL data analytics competition called Big Data Bowl, where data enthusiasts can analyze football data to win prizes. The NFL often hires Data Scientists right out of this competition, so “it’s a really good opportunity for people to showcase what they can do,” he says.
